If you read my post, I was talking about the CHP not enforcing the law re the speed limit. The CHP since Davis appears to be politically controlled by the governor.

From your rant, I see that you are all in favor of truckers doing 75 mph, getting your rear bumper, honking the horn and forcing you to get off the interstate so they can go to the next truck stop. So are you guys donating big time to Davis not to be ticketed for driving 75 in areas where 55 may be too much for a fully loaded rig?

My wife's father made his living driving trucks. He was the last of the breed, a gentleman trucker. When the data comes out one of these days about the deaths involved with truckers at fault due to high speed, reckless and dangersous driving and driving under the influence of something, all hell will break loose.

I'm against dangerous citizen drivers who cut in front of truckers, drive in their blind spots, never let the trucker back into a lane nor signal that trucker get back into the lane or two make a wide turn. They should be removed from the highways.

So tell us what truck you drive so we can get off the road before you flatten us and call it your constitutional rights.

Alright Gramps... In city areas, I would never do over the flow of traffic when I drove a big truck. In the country however, setting cruise at 90mph, easin' the seat back and tipping the ol' cowboy hat a little forward was no stranger to me... Granted, there are a few bad apples that spoil the bunch--obviously those are the truckers you speak of. But, there are MANY who can handle well over 3200 miles a week, and can handle more than 70 hrs driving in a 7 day period.(10 hrs a day). Running three log books at times, a thermos or two of coffee, a big truck that 'll do over a hundred with a load, fed my family well for years. And never got in an accident.

So, the moral of the story is this...and this is for all truckers, not just this ex...truckers are not on the way to the next truck stop, they are on the way to their next load or drop, or home after a few weeks out. Since you are most likely on you way to Wallmart and driving slow because you want to see something not directly in front of you, get the hell out of the way and let my man do his job...he has a family to feed.
